The course is a top-up degree for applicants who already hold an FdSc or HND in Arboriculture or a closely related plant or soil science based subject. The modules you will take form the final year of a full-time, three-year BSc (Hons) degree and by completing these Level 6 modules you will be able to top up your previous Level 5 qualification to a Level 6 BSc (Hons). Covering high levels of technical knowledge in science, management and technology across a range of arboricultural issues, this course applies current research to develop a strategic approach to the management of trees and their environment. Transferable and personal skills, important for employers at this level, will be developed including communication, time management, work prioritisation, critical analysis and report writing. The top-up degree course in Arboriculture and Urban Forestry is focused around web-based learning material on the Myerscough College On-line learning network. On-line tutorials are an important element of the course, enabling students from a wide geographic area to gain an Honours Degree qualification without having to live in close proximity to the College.
